VINTAGE JOHNSON FAREBOX MODEL "D" MUNICIPAL TROLLY BUS 1930 AND UP

Description: VINTAGE JOHNSON FAREBOX "D" MODEL MUNICIPAL RAILWAY BUS FARE BOX This is for a D model fare box that was on municipal railways and buses Comes in excellent used condition what you see is the one you receive Has a lamp attachment that was screwed on to one side to be used as a lamp but can easily be taken off This will require a signature upon delivery In the 1930s when one-person crews were coming into being, an electric version of the D box was developed. This model had a 12volt motor attached to the bottom of the main housing by means of a belt connecting two pulleys. The electric motor did the work of cranking the box. Many of the earlier D boxes were motorized as Johnson sold a kit to do this. The motorized boxes were taller than the manual ones. In the early years Johnson made another model, the J box. This model was not as widely used as was the D. It was more common on small systems that had a single coin fare. The J was slow to load since it took one coin at a time and was not practical on a big city system that had heavy patronage. The D boxes could take multiple coins at the same time, which made for faster loading at stops. Both types of boxes were factory set to take any type and size of coin or token as specified by the transit company ordering them. The J box only came as an electric model. The largest coin that these two models could take was a quarter. As the fares went up, many of the earlier boxes that did not take quarters were modified .
